Coronavirus Statement:

Nelson Yacht Club plans to be able to run the regatta under Alert Level 2.

Decision making on the event in relation to Covid-19 Alert Levels will be made according to the local Nelson status as follows:

• Level 4 – Event will be cancelled
• Level 3 – Event will be cancelled
• Level 2 – Event will go ahead with precautions.
• Level 1 – Event will go ahead with precautions.

If any region other than Nelson is subject to Covid-19 Alert Level 3 or higher, competitors from that region will not be able to travel to the event. The number of competitors unable to travel, and the overall viability of the event will be factored into the decision whether to cancel the event or not.

If any region that a competitor is entered from is at a higher Alert Level than Nelson, all competitors and families from that region will be required to consider themselves still under that Alert Level, and precautions will be taken to ensure the segregation and physical distancing of those competitors and families.

If it becomes necessary to cancel the event, payments made to NYC by competitors in relation to the event will be refunded. Please note – Due to lead times, event T-shirts have now been ordered, so the $35 is non-refundable and NYC will post T-shirts to all entrants.

Competitors & families who are unwell or have possible symptoms, or who have come into contact with a known case of Covid-19 are encouraged not to travel to the event, and NYC will offer a full refund.

Huge thanks to Pic’s Peanut Butter our headline sponsor:

Mr. Pic Picot himself used to sail a Starling – no wonder he’s a winner! 😉

We are stoked to have Pic’s as our headline sponsor, and very grateful for the support. If you haven’t already, be sure to try their really good peanut butter. Make a trip to the Pic’s Peanut Butter World as part of your visit to Nelson too!

Kiwi Silent Disco will be providing headsets for the ‘AP Silent Disco’. If we are under AP ashore, you’ll be able to check out a set of headphones and either get pumped up for the day ahead, or chill out with some relaxed beats and save your energy for the racing – you’ll be able to select from 2-3 channels of music! Please don’t take them on the water though! 😉
